This was my first meeting so I have no way of comparing it to what it
used to be like, but (if I may) I'd like to take the opportunity to
say thanks to all the organizers and contributers. I think I got a lot
out of it, met some people, and had a bit of fun.

There was a lot of choice and lots I wanted to do. I also wanted to
squeeze in Linux Multi Media but OLPC and Booting options were too
tempting. I had to shoot off early but the idea of a beer after the
next meeting sounds good!


I also mentioned at the beginning of the meeting about a movie that
discusses open contribution online and government 2.0 - It's called Us
Now, it's free to download & share and is well worth the time.
Although I think the overall message of the move is a little extreme
it's none the less interesting to see what contributive projects are
out there, and Linux does get a mention. Also interestingly enough,
Public Enemy are doing the same contribution/funding method for their
next album as discussed in the movie.
